This paper proposes a design method for the flux modulation poles (FMPs) formed on the stator of surface-mounted permanent magnet vernier machines (SPMVM) considering the winding configurations. In three types of the SPMVM with the different winding configurations, the FMP shapes to maximize the output torque are optimized by employing the analytical equations for the magneto-motive force (MMF) due to the windings, permeance, and flux density in the air-gap. Then, the validity of the optimal shapes for the FMPs is verified by the finite element analysis. It is found that the optimal FMP shapes are designed differently in the three types of the SPMVM and increase the output torque by different ratios according to the winding configurations. In addition, the experimental results for the prototype show that the proposed method can optimally design the FMP shape by analyzing mathematically the effects of the winding configuration and the FMP shape on the output torque of the SPMVM.
